Raising Pork cheaply.

We need more grass and clover, and
less corn, upon which to make our
pork. More grass and clover means
cheaper growth and less disease. Just
as the great corn and pork producing
lands have developed, has swine dis
ease sprung up and increased. because
our swine are given a monotonous dice
of dry. oily food. Grass and clover
are the foods of nature, and the swine
harvest them. They require little
preparation of the ground for them,
and no cultivation. When pastured
they build up, rather than exhaust,
the land; and it can not be successful
ly disputed that they are essential
factors in the production of the cheap
est pork. Let the pigs narrowed in the
spring be put on grass and clover as
soon as they are fit to be grazed, and
kept on them as long as they are pal
atable, and the result will be pig
not fat, but N good condition and
thrifty, that until fall has large, healthy
bones and muscle and vigorous appe-
tite for corn. And then it may be fed
corn largely, for this will put fat on
the large frame the pasture has made,
and the hog is vigorous enough 10 di-
gest the corn well; and il the hog is
fatted rapidly and marketed as soon
as fully fat, 1t d is the cheapest
pork that can be made-the cheapest,
not counting loss from disease. But
swine plague rarely invades the pas
ture; its favorite place of appearance
is in the small lot, paved with cobs
and manure. The hog summered on
grass and clover is so vigorous that it
rarely sickens when being fattened on
corn largely, but also other food, and
in clean quarters with pure water

Fraternity Means Something.

Comrades. attention to a little lee
ture:
The motto of our noble Order is
fraternity, Charity and loyalty.
We need not say anything to you as
to the full meaning of the last two
words. for no body of men in the
world shows a fuller appreciation of
them than you do. But there is great
room for furtherance of the idea of
Fraternity. Each one of you can and
should do more every day to make
Fraternity more of living force than
it is to-day. If we all think first of

some one, when we wish to buy some
thing, or when a public or private place
is to be filed, we would strengthen
the ties which unite us. and assist de-
serving comrades in a practical, effect
i've way.
If you want your garden cared for,
or q job of repairing done about your
house, inquire If there is not some
comrade who would like the job. If
SO, give it to him by all means. Your
money is better in his pocket than any
other mans.
If you need a clerk, mechanic,
laborer watchman, look around, and
surely you will find some comrade who
will serve you admirably, and who
needs the employment sorely.
Fraternity means just this thing. 1t
means that we shall all be mutually
helpful-that we shall prefer one an
other constantly over those who are
not comrades, whenever there is bust
ness TO be done, money to be expend.

intend to do this, but unless the mat

minded of the duty of Fraternity in

The secret of Rosser's ridiculous let

he and his men wore sprays of laurel

valley" Sheridan got after him, cap
tured everything on wheels that Ross

Harvey Wells.

From what we had read of the pro-
digious work carried on by Harvey
Wells, we had been led to suppose
that Harvey must be pretty nearly
broken down, ply >iraiy. Imagine
our surprise Nh,n Hary. came trip
ping int, he nffiye. on last Thursday
evening, looking As bright. healthy
and happy as any man we met on that
glad Thanksgiving Day. Harvey was
full of business talk, and it was not
difficult to call out vast amount of
information about the big deal.
Harvey is pleased that some of the
Jackson people have treated him fair
ly in his enterprises, while a few, be
it said with shame and sorrow, have
endeavored to impede his progress and
throw obstacles in his way. He in
formed us that after desperate strug-
gle that would have disheartened
most men, he had succeeded in maxi
ing the big deal fixed fact, and that
the preliminary work is now going on
toward planting the eighteen great
enterprises in Wellston. Said Har-
vey: ut was long, hard struggle,
and I'm glad it is through" He
seems enthusiastic over the future of
Wellston. ut is a subject of wonder
to me-" said Mr. Wells, show little is
known of the resources of Jackson
County, even by its older citizens.
Why, there are great mines of wealth
lying in hills as yet unthought of by
most people. | am endeavoring to
open up that portion of this vast field
lying at and east of Wellston"
It is not surprising that Harvey
Wells is enthusiastic over his work.
If Harvey Wells were to sit down,
just now, fold his hands, and say that
he had done enough, no man could
deny the truthfulness Of what he said
Wellston as it stands is monument
to Mr.. Wells of which he has right
to feel proud We may all joke with
Wellston and Weilston people about
their wonderful transactions, but no
man can successfully decry the stu
pendous work Of Mr. Wells. The
proper course for Jackson is to evince
the same public spirit which prevails
at Wellston, and by that industry and
push Of which our people are capable,
reach out toward Wellston and unite
in an almost continuous city, the
stretch Of country between the two
points. There is great growth vet
possible for Jackson, but while we are
working to this end, it is the part Of
wisdom to encourage Wellston and be
ever ready to lend Harvey Wells a
helping hand, if opportunity should
offer. Success to Wellston and its in
domitable and irrepressible founder,
say we!

Matt. 13. 1-9
The same day went Jesus out of the house,
and sat by the seaside.
And great multitudes were gathered togeth-
er unto him, SO that he went into a ship, and
sat; and the whole multitude stood the
shore.
And he spoke many things unto them, say
ing, Behold, a sower went forth to sow;
And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the
way-side, and the fowls came and devoured
them up;
Some fell upon stony places, where they had
not much earth; and forthwith they sprung up,
because they had no deepness of earth;
And when the sun was up, they were scorch-
ed; and because they had no root, they withered
away.
7 And some fell among thorns; and the thorns
sprung up, and choked them;
But other fell into good ground, and brought
forth fruit, some hundredfold, some sixtyfold,
and some thirtyfold.
Who hath ears to hear, let HIM hear.
